3,307 PointsMedia Queries. Problem on first challenge
I'm certain I have this right, but its not being accepted:
task 2: Next, create a new media query that sets the body element's background color to #4682B4 if the viewport width is 480px or less.
I have entered the color exactly as written above:
@media screen and (max-width: 480px) { body { background: #4682B4; } }
but i keep getting this message: Bummer! Did you specify the right background color?
Have i done something wrong or is the task faulty?

3,307 PointsI tried to grab the link, now task one is doing the same thing:
Create a media query that sets the body element's background color to #FF6347 and its text color to white if the viewport width is 768px or less.
My answer:
media screen and (max-width: 768px) { body { background: #FF6347; color: #FFF; }

3,307 PointsThanks that worked... Strange that i got through the other day with a hexidecimal for the color value.

5,773 PointsAre they looking for background-color: #4682B4? Shouldn't make a difference, but they may want something more specific.

3,307 PointsI don't know what changed but I have passed 'task 2' using the exact same code as the other day.
Thanks for the response.
